Do you work in a Unitedite or Wednesdayite office?

Mainly Derby, some Forest, a Notts County and a Burton fan in our office. So I'll either be thankful of where I work or gutted there's no grunters come Monday.

On balance though I'm glad I live/work away from Sheffield at times like this. Takes 'some' of the stress away from next week.
 



the main guy i work with in a pair supports wednesday. we have a good laugh together. i think he's alot more worried than hes letting on. because i said we will surprise alot this season & been proved to be true. as hes off next Sunday cant remember if he's going or watching on tv as we have agreement who ever is home team gets 1st refusal on day off. i told him i hope you have a horrible day off

I hate it how people follow a football club nowhere near where they're from.

oh yeah pees me of right that as well. i have more respect for wednesday fan from Sheffield, than glory hunting Chelsea fan from Sheffield. but normally in my past experience its giveaway that their usually insecure & have to be surrounded by success
 
My office has a 21 year old couldn't give a fuck about owt else but her make up and going on the piss,and my old faithful 60 year old receptionist.....
Both give me a wide berth if we lose,and sweet talk me if we win.
 
In my team there is just me as the lone Blades fan, one of my mates who works there is a Liverpool fan but he comes to the games with me often as his brother is also a Blade (work that one out...). There is one pig ST holder but she's an old sod and doesn't really take part in the football banter. In the wider office there are plenty of Blades/pigs.

I was doing some training at a Travel company in Glasgow a few years ago and the subject turned to football, we were having a laugh about Sheffield football and football up in Glasgow, Rangers, Celtic and all that, i was getting funny looks from the manager. After about 20 mins i got pulled into the office and told in no uncertain terms to stop football talk as it was banned in the office. One side of the open plan office was Rangers and the other half Celtic and fights had regularly broken about over a bit of friendly banter, to the point they'd had to call the police in to split it up (there were about 200 plus members of staff).

If SYP had been doing the security, there would have just been 100 members of staff and a huge swathe of empty desks and chairs in between.
 
4 in our gang. 3 Blades, the other couldn't care less. He's into weighing in scrap and selling cars on the cheap (you know the type....). He's from York so means nowt to him anyway.

There is a Wednesday bastard on site though. Knows fuck all mind.
 
One pig, one Tottenham and one with no interest in football.

The pig doesn't go to games and never really pipes up unless they've won.

The Spurs fan just asked why I was booking next Monday off, I explained that I'll still be pissed or I'll be extremely pissed off, he just didn't get it.
 



Easy for me. All Liverpool Man Utd or Arsenal apart from a Solitary Ipswich, Leeds and Evertonian.

Nobody even has a clue what league we're in as we're not part of the top 6 Premier League 'mini league'.
 
50/50 at our place. And I'll have to sit in the home stand to watch it!
 
For all of you who work with level headed pig fans remember this. Away from work they will be the gobshites who post on NKT. Show no mercy to the fuckers if we win on Sunday.
 
Living in East Yorkshire I am surrounded by ex Leeds united and Liverpool fans who now support thier home town, club but only go when they are in the Premiership! I treat them with the contempt they deserve.

At work we have gone from me being the only real football fan to:

1 Rangers fan who now looks out for the Blades and always asks about "Flecky"
1 Forest ST holder, who I get on with with really well. We get funny looks when we are in meetings and I start chanting "Scabs" and he retorts with "You'll never work again"!
1 young gob shite Coventry fan who saw them once last season ( I will leave you all to guess the venue) shouted off before both Blades games and is easy prey when it comes to banter.
1 Spurs fan, my boss. Pompous twat who comes from Brighton and supports Spurs. Comes out with bullshit like "take your boots, you will get a game" has never been to a spurs game in the time I have known him. Boy did I laugh the last two seasons when they capitulated!

I don't know many Swine, only one Facebook contact from Junior school who will get it both barrels if we we win.
 
Recent developments in our office have greatly improved the pig/blade ratio - a new girl started 3 months ago - follows blades home and away and the pig has moved upstairs to a different department. Everyone else supports one of a variety of Yorkshire clubs, the Huddersfield fan knows what he's talking about, even the Barnsley fan is alright. Unless there are some closet porkers, think it's a pig free zone ATM :D

My immediate office has 1 Sri Lankan, 1 Colombian, 2 Indians and a Philipino. Based on the pig claims of having a million fans around the world I expect they are born and bred pigs but I haven't asked. Wider than that there's a Derby fan, Forest fan and a Hull fan in the next office along but they are all proper ex-pats so probably haven't been for years.

So it's you fuckers who are ringing me up about the "accident" I never had is it? Or are you from "Microsoft"? :)

Not in IT or a call centre. All qualified accountants in my team would you believe. The Colombian is married to an Irish bloke so she at least understands the British sense of humour, the rest struggle.
 
There's only two of us in my office, and the other isn't interested in football, so despite working in Chapeltown I'm fairly OK. And anyway, I'll be in Swindon next week!

Looking at the wider company, we have one Norwegian Liverpool fan (who actually played as a pro for Strømsgodset in the 80s), a big Djurgården fan and a couple of Feyenoord fans so we're pretty diverse!
 
It's a fairly even split at my place.

I'm getting trained on a new job on Friday and next week by a pig. Should be fun. I'm sure I'll learn how to wildly exaggerate figures in no time.
 
Bit of a mix in our office (located in Donny).... Footy fans from the following clubs....

Blades (2)
Pigs (3)
Dingles (2)
Donny (3)
Rovvrum (1)
Man Utd (3)
Man City (1)
Liverpool (3)
